This constitutional amendment enshrines reproductive freedom and a fundamental right to an abortion into the Arizona state constitution. The state shall not deny, restrict, or interfere with that right nor penalize any person for aiding or assisting a pregnant individual in exercising the right to an abortion.

This state plan amendment includes updates to the reimbursement methodology for Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs) to ensure that they are reimbursed at the Wholesale Acquisition Cost.

This executive order makes over-the-counter (OTC) self-administered hormonal contraceptives an “essential health benefit” at no cost for state employees under the State Plan, and directs specific agencies to engage in public education and implementation efforts to expand access to all forms of contraception.

This bill repeals the state’s 1864 near-total abortion ban.

This updated standing order authorizes pharmacists to prescribe and dispense hormonal contraceptives – including the pill, patch, ring and emergency contraception – to patients 18 years old or older.
